 and are of both a popular and scientific nature. The

A Bright and Readible Illustrated Monthly 

 Journal of Popular Botany. 



TheiMagazine, now in its sixth year, is aiming 

 to do for plants what T/ie Osprey is doing for 

 birds. 



It contains 28 pages of reading matter each 

 month, and is illustrated with numerous half- 

 tone plates and cuts. While devoted to popular 

 botany The Plant World is in no sense "botani- 

 cal" or technical. It appeals to the nature 

 lover and the general reader. 



Subscription price, $1.00 a year, with a neat 

 little book premium free with every new sub- 

 scriber.

THE OOLOGIST 



(of Albion, N. Y.) 

 IS THE OLDEST PUBLICATION IN AMERICA. 



Thb Ooloqist is the cheapest "Bird" publication 

 in the world (for only 50 cents you receive $1.00 

 wortb of premiums, your selection, 25c. worth 

 advertising and the Oologist for a whole year.) 



The Ooloqist, has a larger paid circulation tl 

 all other "Bird" publications in America combinei 



Thb Ooloqist has long been recognized the 

 Advertising Medium in its line in the world. Thi 

 "Cauniry Oentlemen" is the leading Agricultural 

 newspaper in America, and in soliciting advertising 

 for its columns, it makes its strongest hit in the fo}- 

 lowing statement: "As to quantity of circulation " 

 publishes many more 'Want Ads' than all 

 papers combined. You doubtless know what 

 Want Ad' circulation must be and aXwaya isV 



From this same stand point The Ooloqist's rank 

 among publications devoted not only to Ornithology 

 but Natural History as well, is identical to that r^ 

 the Country Gentlemen among agricultural publ 

 cations. 



The Oologist has very few half-tones and con1 

 only 16 pages each issue — one-half of which are a( 

 rertising. 



During the past fifteen years, (The Ooloqis; 

 »ee) many superior "Bird" pubUcations and sob) 

 01 inferior ones have dropped by the way. Ti 

 Ooloqist, however, is still issued each month ani 

 a sample copy of a recent issue can always 

 obtained by addressing a postal to
